It may have wings but seems to be lacking on the engine front....I'm presuming its a jet?

Not American or jet.

Think Scotland, Ireland and England - and NOT FOOTBALL!

It's a black object isn't it...........

Have to go zzzzzzzz now - busy day ahead.

Nite nite,

Mack the knife.....

Must admit I don't recognise it...

I'm sure there is something in the clues...black object, knife, but other than coming up with Stealth Blade I am none the wiser.

Hopefully the nightshift will come up with something.

Good night all

A glider, or part of a composite and is therefore a kind of "lifting body", LM?

Morning RR.

It's not a glider - it has a small pusher prop at the back.

It has three names, one English, one Irish, and one Scottish - basically Gallic. Think small Scottish knife.

Photograph coming up.....

Apart from the lack of a nosewheel, it looks rather like a Bölkow.
